The Hupa Indians.

Lieut.. Ray, U. s. A., gives in Science an
photographic sketch of the Hupa Indians as
they appear in the Hupa reservations in
northwest California, ON the lower Trinity
river. These Indians nearly all belong to the
Pacific coast branch of the great Athabascan
stock, represented by the Kulchin and Time
on the north, and by the Apache and Navajo
on the south. Before these aborigines were
terrorized by the white miners and fishermen
they were, in the language of Stephen Powers,
the Romans Of California. Although they
have been Gained down to the normal stag
nation OF a government reservation, there
remains great deal of the old art and civiliza-
ton among them. They are really in the
neoithic age, and tell much about the way in
which Frenchmen of the Robenhausian epoch
lived.
The story of their daily life is blocked out
in the statements that their mountain homes
a., in the midst Of giant red woods, their
streams are the resorts of salmon and around
them grow tho materials for the finest textiles

the delicacies-such as oysters, turkey and
eggs Sometimes 1 tako lunch before the

waiting on people at noon. About half-past
we have dinner and before we 60 home we
can eat our supper"
''How do you pay your board and clothe
yourself on such small wases?"
''Most of the girls live at home with their
mothers. Another girl and myself hire
room together. 1t costs us 81 week each.
We get our meals here, and at the end OF the
month have left about s. to dress myself
and purchase other necessaries. It's mighty
little for a young girl like me. I am 10

Pocketbooks, card cases. blotters, port
folios and purses are popular objects when
mounted with old silver carvings in elegant
designs. Sometimes tho corners alone are
decorated, while at Others they are bordered
all round Very beautiful are the articles
ornamented with enamel upon silver in
Moorish and Oriental colors, presenting in
appearance handsome illumination upon
the kid surface Occasionally these leather
objects are decorated with little gold flowers
or insects in repousse work, and occasionally
Christian name or initials hand written or

are expressed in these leather goods, such as

The fancy for yellow in the dress and its

that other fancy for red in its deepest and

Is this very n,onotony of dress and conduct

II while the disk is revolving rapidly its
periphery is brought into light contact with
the edge Of piece Of paper, the successive
taps Of the teeth Of the disk upon the paper
produce shrill, musical sound, which varies
in pitch according to the speed Of the disk.
Such disk mounted on a shaft and revolved
rapidly is known as Savart's wheel.
1t is ascertained by these experiments that
regular vibrations of sufficient frequency
produce musical sounds, and that conclusions,
irregular vibrations and regular vibrations

Sailed Almonds,

Sailed almonds, so largely eaten now
among fashionable folks, as an appetizing
relish, may be prepared as follows: Shell the
almonds and blanch by throwing them into
boiling water and leaving them there, covered
for half an hour, or until the skins will
slip off easily. Skin and spread them out
to dry for several hours. Put good piece of
butter into hot dripping pan, and as it
warns stir the almonds over and over in it to
coat them with the butter. Set in oven and
roast, stirring them often, until they begin to
color family. Take them out, shake in a
colander to rid of grease, spread on dish
and strew with fine, dry salt, stirring them
about. that each nut may have its SHARE
Eat cold. They are charmingly appetizing
Avoid the danger of getting the almonds too
brown, and on the other hand Of putting
them into the oven before they are dry
enough.

DECORATED WATCH CASES.

The accompanying cut shows two styles Of
decoration. In one appears about the edges
Of the case net carving, with here and there a
small gem, set to enhance the effect. In and
around the center are designs made up of
raised wire work, gems and chasing. The
other figure in the cut represents a simple but
elegant style of case; this shows groundwork
of fine chasing on the back of the case, with q
decoration in the center that Stimulates star.
As may be seen, this effect is gained by a
bright cut star set with a large fine diamond.

A Boon to Housekeepers.

Carpet sweepers, as now made, are so light
and easily handled that they may be rolled
back and forth by a child or person toe
delicate to WELD broom. The rotating
brush that gathers up the dirt and the pans
that receive it being encased in box, almost
no dust whatever rises, and subsequent brush
ing or wiping up Of furniture and woodwork
on account of its use is unnecessary All the
the dust and dirt is deposited in the case, in
stead of being stirred up, only to settle again
on carpets and furniture, which is always
true, in part, when broom is used. Neither
is the carpet sweeper brush as wearing to car
pets as a broom. A good carpet sweeper is
invaluable to the housekeeper who studies to
do her work at once easily and well, and its
price, fortunately, is not large.
